Cheers Willem, I was aiming for an atmospheric look rather than very realistic.

Cheers Andy, I think 5 is the best of the set too.
All the daylight ones were with my Industar-N61 2.8/53, lovely small lens. The two night-time ones were with Konica Hexanon 3.5/28.
Another night-time one I did the following night with the Hexanon:

Wow, that's come from left field for me. I'm used to your gorgeous panoramic landscapes, so seeing these took me by surprise. But it's a pleasant surprise 
For reasons I can't put into words, number 1 really appeals to me.
Nice set  |

I like 1 too, of the street shots, I think that's the best.
I decided to try the same technique I use for landscapes on a different subject and it seems to work just as well imho.
I like the way it allows the exploration of perspective and vanishing point in composition.

Cheers dude. I like the way the long exposures make the streets look deserted as the people disappear, many walked past while I was shooting that. Most of the cars that drove past disappeared as well, you can see a few streaks from their lights but that's the only evidence of life.
I tried another stitched panorama today, didn't really turn out that good, but I'm learning rapidly how to do these, part of the problem with this one was I shot it with my Tokina 17mm so it needed less shots to make up the whole pano and it resulted in too much distortion to be able to fully correct it.
I tried to PP it extensively and don't think I really improved it.
I actually much prefer this simple shot of some rain puddles, Tokina 17mm, 6 shot HDR then processed in Silver EFEX using the underexposed preset. Bleak I think, which works.

I did this shot from my front doorstep yesterday, Tokina 17mm again, I don't normally like distorted views but this one works I think, I abandoned any pretense at realistic colours as it's not a realistic view to begin with.
I quite like this shot when processed with the vintage preset in Silver EFEX, makes it lower key, more moody.

I also tried a shot down the street, it came out pretty boring:
So I played with the colours and contrast and added some radial blur, pretty unconventional but I think it works, has a really feeling of motion imho:

The NEX is a remarkable little camera, it has to take much of the credit, the rest is extensive PP.

I only managed half an hour's shooting yesterday but I'm quite pleased with the results as it was as dark as it can get during the day and we had gale force winds, I had to hold onto the tripod!

Thankyou Pascal. I prefer a more realistic look with most subjects, but for these shots around my town in the middle on winter with so little sunlight I think it is better to liven them up than to accept the extremely flat and gray images you get with traditional methods.

Cheers. I'm just glad I've found a technique that allows shooting in bad light, which can be 50% of the year here!

Sad for you  ....
Well, I think it still must be use "carefully" (and not for all subjects!) otherwise, it could be also becoming boring.....

We got an hour or two of decent sunlight yesterday so I managed to shoot a few more images further exploring perspective. Because of the better light I didn't have to play with the colours allowing more realistic images imho.
